Switch vs 3DS in Japan Sales Comparison - Switch Takes the Lead in December 2020

This monthly series compares the aligned Japanese sales of the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS.

There it is!  This is the closest thing I can find to Switch sales falling off a cliff.  Of course, it flew out of the cliff even faster than it fell down.  This graph has a relative peak at month 10, and then it hits rock bottom at month 32.  That is a 22 month difference.  From that bottom to the current month is a 14 month difference.  In Japan Swich majorly lost ground against 3DS for 22 months but then recovered basically the same amount in 14 months.

Even in the one case where it might be argued that Switch sales fell off a cliff, it flew out of that cliff even faster than it fell down.  That isn't really even flight.  It's a rocket!
